Description
This atlas is divided into three main sections. The first section covers the techniques and methods used in preparation of a biopsy. It also covers the normal appearance of muscle biopsy specimens, by both light microscopial and ultrastructural examinations. The second section covers the pathological reactions of the muscle fibres as a totally separate entity, and the third section covers all the major neuromuscular diseases and disorders including X-ray linked recessive myopathies, spinal muscular atrophy, inflammatory myopathies, congenital myopathies and metabolic myopathies.
